Question

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (9, -10) and (14,5)?
Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

so you have to use the equation

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

to find the slope

now all you have to do is substitute

-10 - 5 / 9 - 14

-15/ -5

3

Answer 2

Answer:

$m=3$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathrm{Slope\:between\:two\:points}:\quad \mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(9,\:-10\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(14,\:5\right)$

$m=\frac{5-\left(-10\right)}{14-9}$

$\mathrm{Refine}$

$m=3$
